Tgal, It''s a beautiful ring - absolutely gorgeous! Wear it in good health and happiness

Yanno, I was all prepared to write this nice gushy post about your fantabulous ring, and then, I saw the BOX. The nice brown leather box. That none of US got. And that was it, my feelings changed. No nice post for you!

It''s truly beautiful T, just like I knew it would be. I absolutely adore that combo, always have. And your pad is just stunning. If I ever went in search of a CS, it would be one of these. I have loved them from the first time I saw them. It''s just perfect, and Amelia is one lucky lil girl! Congrats gal, and wear it in good health!

Great write up also. And honestly, I didn''t think I could ever laugh about what happened to my Aqua, but you managed the unimaginable!

Thank you for the kind words, I really do appreciate them. That was not an easy review I had to write, nobody wants to have to say that about any jeweler, much less Leon.

I''m glad things went well for you, and that you figured the prong out before you called him, though, that "might" have made for a much more interesting post.

Wow, it is gorgeous! Love the color and it looks awesome on you.

Love your Amelia ring, TG!!! Wear it in the best of health and happiness always!!!!

 

[Dreamer_D]

Wowee zowie! I love it! That is the perfect setting for a cushion shape.

It''s beautiful! Congrats!

 

[Dandi]

It''s absolutely breathtaking TG. Enjoy it!!

 

[Harriet]

Congratulations! The proportions are perfect. Wear it in good health.

That is one of the most beautiful rings I have seen! The colour of it is amazing!

Wear and admire it!

 

[icekid]

Ahhh I''ve been waiting for this one....

It absolutely does not disappoint!

I think Leon is truly as his best when given the leeway to do what he deems best. Say what you will about his personality, but few can rival his eye for lines.

I hope that you and your darling Amelia will enjoy this heirloom for many, many years to come.

 

[kittybean]

Wow! It looks just gorgeous. The proportions, the side stones, the color of your sapphire--all perfect. I hope you and Amelia wear it in the best of health!

 

[tigian]

Congratulations! The proportions are perfect! It''s really a work of art.

Thanks to the ladies group of ladies for stopping by!

Joelly, a pad is a pinkish orange (or orangish pink) sapphire. Hard to find one that isn''t treated and there''s a lot of fakes/Be diffused ones out there.

Ellen, yes, you are right...it would have made for a much more interesting story indeed if I hadn''t figured it out before I called him, whether that be good or bad.

I never got to really take the stone out in different lighting before it was set, and I gave it a test run over the last couple of days. Wow, this stone is amazing in the sun and in spot lighting. I''ll try and get photos next week to add to the thread once I''m back from my business trip.

It''s fun to share on Pricescope where everyone appreciates a good project. IRL, my friends just don''t care at all (and don''t see what the hoopla is about for an untreated pad - nor do I expect them to share in the insanity, hehehe.)

 

[Rockdiamond]

Congrats TG ( and daughter)!

The stone is wonderfully complex in color.
Very lovely.
Leon''s work is remarkable as well.

I love the color and I love the setting, L.M. does great work!

 

[swingirl]

Gorgeous ring. There nothing "average" about your ring or Leon's work. It's beautiful. Enjoy!

 

[Gailey]

You see, this is what happens when I put my laptop down for a day or two - I miss all the best action!

T-Gal, I don''t think there is anything I can say that wold be different from all of the other wonderful comments. Your ring is a work of art, and in 20+ years time it will still be every bit as gorgeous as it is today. Amelia is a lucky girl to have such a wonderful mummy and custodian of her ring.

Congratulations on mastering the art of doing business with Leon.
